This game is amazing. What they have done to the first person shooter genre is incredible. The Aim controller is very accurate, and is very satisfying blasting enemies away with it. I have had no problems with the accuracy of the tracking. There's nothing like bringing your gun up and aiming down the sights, it's awesome.
The game itself is well done. I play on the original PS4 and the graphics are probably the best I've seen for VR, and I've played most of the heavy hitters. The campaign is about 6 hours long and actually has a decent and entertaining story ( I was most worried about that). The Co-op mode is fantastic as well and has a very Halo 1 vibe, as in it's revolutionary to the genre.
The only negative is that it's fairly linear. But being the first VR FPS of its kind I'll let it slide. Definitely don't go into this comparing it to other big FPS though. It's not quite there, but the immersion of the Aim controller far outweigh the little shortcomings of Farpoint compared to say Killzone, Halo, or Call of Duty.
I'd give it a very solid 9/10 and a must own for PSVR gamers. If you're a huge shooter fan, I would even say this alone is worth jumping into VR for.
Now I just want to see SOCOM remade with the Aim controller, and future support of Battlefront, CoD, and Battlefield!

BEST VR Experience

May 17, 2017

Best game on the PSVR. I've tried Eve, Battlezone, Thumper, Rez Infinite, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes... and a few others. Definitely these are different genre. Farpoint is probably one of the first VR experiences where I really felt like I'm getting 100% my money's worth since it's really quite awesome to play.
I'm not sensitive to VR sickness any more since Eve really did a number on my stomach. However, this game is awesome. The campaign is really enthralling and the PS Aim Controller is much more fun to use than the Move controllers.
I'm really happy with the purchase. I honestly think this is probably the best experience you can have on PSVR if you like FPS's even more so.

What a deal!!

May 18, 2017

For those part of the Best Buy gamers club, paying $63 for this bundle was too good a deal to pass up. The controller alone is built so well I'm surprised Sony didn't charge more for this. I played this game a couple hours straight when I first picked it up and I loved it. The feel of holding the rifle and being to hold it up to aim down the sights took the immersiveness to the next level that PSVR was missing. This game is top notch but I can't wait to see what other games developers come out with that are aim compatible. Might as well pick one up now at a good deal. A must for any PSVR owner.

The Future is Now!!

If you have ever played a shooter game and wanted to feel like you were the character in the game, then this is what you need to try. The gun is incredible, and accurate. When you move the weapon near your face and look through the "scope" on the weapon you can see the reticle EXACTLY as you would with a real weapon. Regardless if you like space games or not, this is one to try for you PSVR. Do not miss the opportunity to purchase this combo. The gun separately is $59.99, so although $79.99 is not cheap, its a great deal for whats included. Also for anyone concerned about motion sickness... I have played just about every PSVR game to date, and none have made me sick. This game, I find myself able to play for around 20-30 minutes max, before I feel I need a break. Its not a feeling of motion sickness just that you need to step back into reality and rest. This is most likely due to you standing up, but obviously standing still while playing but your character is walking around.

More of an impression than a review

May 17, 2017

First of all this is like the first game on PSVR with clear text... that's a plus. Another thing - i don't think anyone should play this game with just a controller... i don't think you will get the full experience. Same with sitting... of course if you can't stand, you can sit. But standing and aiming with the gun/controller adds a lot more to the game. If you liked Rush Of Blood you will most likely like this.

So realistic and one of the best VR games yet!

Amazing Experience

June 2, 2017

I absolutely love this game. It is by far one of the best psvr games out there. It is totally immersive and has a really good story that hooks you in from the beginning and makes you really feel what the characters are going through. It has a good mix of action as well as an adventure feel to it. The Aim controller is very fun to use as well. It takes a little bit of time to get used to, just like anything that is new, but for me it was maybe 10 minutes before I was completely comfortable with it, and then it was a blast to use. Would highly recommend.
